Hawks can stomp infantry already for an instant kill - cluster bombs need a nerf as it's quite easy to get 3 or 4 kills at once just by randomly dropping cluster bombs into the enemy base.

Rather than a wide spread of cluster bombs, it should be replaced by a single bomb with a much smaller AOE. Maybe even an air to surface missile that locks on to a single soldier and nothing else?

They have to land to do that, which makes them incredibly vunerable.

They should keep it so it releases a number of bombs (thats why its called a CLUSTER bomb). Each bomb should spread out when they land (like in WH) before detonating. Furthermore each bomb should deal less damage but have a larger spread.

Unless they stealth which is what I did today as a despicable underhanded attack

Stomping someone's base is neigh impossible unless it's already a base rape, or unless you cloak to not get raped by all the beam turrets. And even if you do go down to stomp people, you are incredibly vulnerable, invisible or not. Hell, there's been a couple times where, before I even finish transforming into mech, I get double knife by a bruiser perker.

Everything in this game has it's counters. Hawks can't lock onto bikes and jeeps and the machine gun is pathetic against them mostly because of the speed of the hawk outmatching that of other vehicles even in slow mode, requiring multiple sweeps of precise aim to take down a bike or a jeep.

If you call the Hawk air support, make it be able to support from the air. And for that, you need cluster bombs, machine gun and missiles don't cut it and stomp isn't air support anymore. Air support doesn't do ***** to the team if hawks are limited to the sky, the hawks would have their own little meta game going on unrelated to whats going on in the battlefield..
